1. The Incredibles
One of the best voice castings for the lead roles I've seen ( or is it heard?) & it has a great story, full of charm, wit & family chemistry. I always thought that Hollywood never seem to be able to put out 100% in any feature dealing with superheroes, but they really did with this one. The effects are incredibly cool, the over-all visuals are stunning & the characters are all drawn with an equally high level of quality & dynamicism ( .... is that really a word?). Added with the "Jack Jack Attack" story on the DVD, & I know that it will probably be a long time before the family "I's" get dethroned from #1 on my list.

2. Monster House
Tho the animation doesn't have the chance to get as creative as comp.-animated movies that focus on non-human subjects, they do very well with what they have. The facial expressions are choice quality & the movements during the action sequences are both smooth & dynamic. The story is very good, the characters are engaging & the action scenes are very high in the area of thrill. This movie very narrowly ecaped making it to my number one spot.

3. Appleseed Ex Machina
Holee sh#t....!
So far, the most updated amazing animation in any film.
Simply put, the computer-generated visuals in this film have to be seen in order to believed.

4. Cars
I found the stories & characters pretty much so-so, but no one can deny the extremity of detail in the animation. Pretty friggin' amazing.

6. The Triplets of Belleville
I had 1st heard of this movie thru a review by Ebert & Roeper. And while they both praised it, they both admitted that they couldn't find the words to describe it.
So I ain't even gonna try. Lemme just say,
that the Triplets are once,
twice,
three times my #1 2-D favorite animated movieee...
and I love you...
I lu-uhvv...

youuuuu...."

7. Akira
My first look at anime. Well, kick @ss anime that is.
When I first saw this, I realized that, if I didn't have to work, I would spend all of my time lookin' up at what those crazy asians were concocting on the animation tip, yo.

8. Sleeping Beauty
I saw this movie as a very young child, and the kickassery of the Witch & the dragon was probably the first time my little mouth uttered the words "Holy f#ck....!".

9. Heavy Metal
You know, whenever I watch this movie today, and I cannot imagine today's generation being impressed with it at all. However, when it was first realeased, movies of it's kind had never been seen before. At least not by me, that is. This was the first adult animation I had ever seen & to my virgin eyes, I thought some of the movements were very realistic. It really opened up my eyes to what could be ( & eventually would be ) done with animation.
It's just one of those films that I find myself being personally partial to.

10. Titan A.E.
Okay, I know... I'm cheating here. There's plenty of computer graphics on this one. But the main figures are still 2-D "drawn", so I'll put it on this list. Besides, I like it alot, & don't know exactly where to put it. This movie showed us where the big-budget animated features were going not just commercially but artistlcally, also. And even tho you can notice some clunkiness to some of the computer-generated areas, the drawn parts are of the highest quality ( for it's time) & , for me, still comes off as quite visually stunning.
